Contemporary half-calf over marbled boards; occasional very light soiling and minor browning. Bookplate of Norwich University Library on paste-down stamped “discarded” and small blind-stamp on title. Presentation from the library of R.S. Howard and Malcolm Douglas with their signatures on the first blank dated 1872, and another signature dated 1842. First edition of this charming treatise on the cultivation and beauty of logic written especially for the student who wants to learn to think for himself or herself.

Of particular interest are the appendices which contain questions for students from the text.
